Storyline

He's found his mojo, baby, and now Austin Powers is back again in this shagadelic comedy-adventure. The "sshhh!" hits the fan when Dr. Evil and Mini-Me escape from prison. Joining forces with the superfreaky Goldmember, they kidnap Austin's father, master spy Nigel Powers, in a dastardly time-travel scheme to take over the world. Before you can say "Shake Your Booty", Austin cruises to 1975 and teams up with sexy Foxxy Cleopatra to stop Dr. Evil and Goldmember from their mischievous mayhem.

User Reviews

He's back and better than ever, baby!

The trilogy is still going strong with the third installment, which gets a bit raunchier than the first two, but still manages to surprise us with off-the-wall wackiness courtesy of Meyers' stable of brilliant, well-crafted characters. He deftly maneuvers his way through a film in which he plays four characters. The supporting cast is as strong as ever, especially return players Seth Green, Verne Troyer and Mindy Sterling. Yeah, baby, yeah!!
